Approximate calories during purees

Just started purees yesterday.  I have been tracking my food faithfully every day and during liquids I never went over 600.  Both yesterday and today I was over 700.  Is this about right for the puree stage?  I did use full fat mayo with my fish and eggs, so I'm sure I can get that down a little with using light mayo.  Yesterday I had 99 grams of protein, today only 70, but still acceptable.  I'm not worried about this, just wondering where others were at with calorie intake during purees.

I have been on purees for about a week now and I tend to get about 700-800 calories per day.

I was always around 400 with purées, but I was there from week 2-week 4. How far out are you?

Before surgery, I would cut mayo by using some Greek yogurt or fat free sour cream instead! I enjoyed using it with egg salad and it was less calories/fat.

Juat finished purees and I would typically range anywhere from 500-800 depending on the day.  I think you are right on track, or at least I hope you are.
